Mediterranean side

Dawn awakenings 
~the golden touch from your scence
smelling of jasmine
~mediterranean side
where the moon kisses the sun

Silent Shores: Echoes of the Mediterranean

In the depths of the Mediterranean's embrace, 
Where waves and sorrow interlace, 
A tragic tale unfolds each passing day, 
Of lives lost, dreams shattered, swept away.

Ten souls, on average, meet their end, 
In this watery grave, their hopes suspend, 
And as the months unfold with heavy toll, 
1875 hearts silenced, their stories untold.

Why, oh why,

Mediterranean Honeymoon

Mediterranean honeymoon
they rented a small boat
her groom apologized for its size
she cared not, only that they were together
in the most romantic turquoise waters in the world

Mediterranean Salad

Mediterranean Salad

As I gaze upon the picture hanging on the wall,
of the Parthenon on Mount Olympus of long ago,
where history was made and mythology took roots
(and phalanx of hoplites conquered the known world)
while the gods ruled from the mountain top;
and bellowed obscenities from their mouths
and threw down lightning bolts upon the shepherds
and their flocks, non-stop,

Mediterranean-

I sink, I swim 
deep sea dream diving
 I stand on the shore
 remaining so I dart

Turquoise Mediterranean Sea

tourists sail on yachts -
a crowded raft capsizes
and refugees drown

His Mediterranean Spell

a patch of, alluring sea
the wonder of this buoyancy

the gentle waves, the searing sun
with all of nature, I am one

my aches and pains just drift away
on healing breeze that's come to play

nomadic sands in search of home
caress my body as they roam

the salted sea competes to find
a way my agile form to bind

yet I must

Ghosts of the Mediterranean

I sleep awake wondering 
my country’s invasion by wolves
I dream a dream of dreamers
to cross mystery sea-Mediterranean
 
“Opportunities, heaven for me
awaits across the sea”
I soliloquy in a grass hut	
“I will at last drive a car, build house
I will at last get all hidden things
that civilization carries in its stomach
if only I can cross there”

Across the Mediterranean

I watched them took-off for their search for greener pastures
Adventurers with unclosed or unknown destinations
One thing was sure; they were going to cross the Mediterranean 
Their determination overweighed the risk ahead of them
They were so desperate for a better life than their present conditions
Even like armless soldiers at war, they were ready to embark on

Mediterranean She

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips.... 
Their sea breeze her, velvet truth; archaic 
Wrapped warmly my breath about her breast ?
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams
Sliding sensually across poetic's kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne.

Mediterranean She

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips 
The seabreeze her velvet truth; archaic..
Wrapped warmly her breath, about my breast
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams...
Sliding sensually across my kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne.

My Mediterranean Dove

Her beauty's free flowing soft vanilla hips..
Velvet cream, gliding joyfully above my lips
Daylight peeking past the shades her breast
My tongue tasting our love these eyes gazing
Chasing butterflies floating by her cries gentle
Warmth caressing my kisses glistening she sips.

Mediterranean Undressing

This rock of the brave
In the Mediterranean Sea
There is a Maltese Maiden
A lure for me

We will meet in it's Capital
Steeped in history
Valletta is it's name
But for tonight it's our chemistry

After a three hour flight
In Malta I land
To the hotel I am taken
Corinthia Marina so grand

I am now booked in
On my balcony I await
Looking over St

Mediterranean Love

The Highland Princess
Sails again
Its captain and dove
To the Mediterranean
 
Now so much in love
To an island they go
To celebrate their engagement
For their love truly flows
 
This archipelago of seven
In this sea of blue
Aboard our babe
As we enjoy the views
 
Marina we berth
Settle in for the night
For tomorrow, our interests
Its historic sights
 
Early start
To the blue
